added a jukebox on e sidebar and attempted to remove some unsightly blog template layout..

anyway, was reading this wikipedia article on hakka some time back.. quite a number of hakkas are/were famous (or infamous) revolutionaries/politicians/government officials.. these includes our very own Lee family (SM and PM), 邓小平, 孙中山, 宋氏三姐妹, 李登辉, 吕秀莲, 吴伯雄, Elizabeth Choy, Thaksin Shinawatra and former Cheif Justice 杨邦孝.. famous hakkas in other areas include Jimmy Choo, 张国荣, 周润发, 黎明, 陈小春, 曾志伟, 叶丽仪, 罗大佑, 曾国城, 黑人, 范文芳, 彭耀顺, 庄米雪, 谢韶光, 陈靓瑄, 李伟菘, 李偲菘, 巫启贤, 王光良, 黄品冠, 戴佩妮, 曹格 and 林丹.. haha.. i noe.. it's a very long list..

1 interesting fact as pointed out in e article was tt during e '80s and '90s, e 3 chinese-majority countries in e world were simultaneously led by hakkas.. (邓小平 for china, 李登辉 for taiwan and SM Lee for SG)

this leads to an interesting revelation for me.. tt SG is quite e odd ball out, being e other chinese-majority country tt's far flung from e chinese native land of china (together with e other chinese-majority country of taiwan).. i don't think there's another chinese-majority country in e world besides these 3 rite? tt's not to include hk and macau..

and yup, just in case u were wondering.. i'm a hakka.. lol..
